Abstract

Provided are systems and methods for electronic receipt management using a user terminal which includes an electronic wallet where payment information is stored, an electronic receipt application storing and managing an electronic receipt, an installation number generated to determine what number of application is installed when the electronic receipt application is installed, a dongle including a payment request relay unit requesting an installation number and payment information to the user terminal to transfer received installation number, payment information, and the amount of requested payment to a payment server, a payment unit making a payment using the payment information and the amount of requested payment received from the payment request relay unit and an electronic receipt issuing unit issuing an electronic receipt when the payment unit makes a payment and transferring the issued electronic receipt and the installation number received from the payment request relay unit to an electronic receipt server.

Claims

1. A system for electronic receipt management using a user terminal, comprising:

a user terminal including an electronic wallet in which payment information is stored, an electronic receipt application storing and managing an electronic receipt, and an installation number generated to determine what number of application is installed when the electronic receipt application is installed;

a payment request relay unit requesting an installation number and payment information to the user terminal and transferring received installation number, payment information, and the amount of requested payment to a payment server;

a payment server including a payment unit making a payment using the payment information and the amount of requested payment received from the payment request relay unit and an electronic receipt issuing unit issuing an electronic receipt when the payment unit makes a payment and transferring the issued electronic receipt and the installation number received from the payment request relay unit to an electronic receipt server;

a electronic receipt server including database receiving and pre-storing a serial number and an installation number of the user terminal when the installation number of the user terminal is generated and storing the electronic receipt received from the electronic receipt issuing unit and a search unit searching a serial number of a user terminal where the installation number of the user terminal received from the electronic receipt issuing unit matches an installation number pre-stored in the database and transferring the searched serial number of the user terminal to a push server; and

a push server transmitting a push signal as such that a push alarm is executed, the push alarm notifying an electronic receipt application corresponding to a serial number of a user terminal received from the search unit that an electronic receipt is issued,

wherein the electronic receipt includes a simple receipt and a complete receipt containing detail information of the simple receipt,

wherein the payment server issues the simple receipt and the complete receipt and transfers the simple receipt and the complete receipt to the electronic receipt server,

wherein the simple receipt contains payment date, payment items, and the amount of requested payment,

wherein the complete receipt contains the content and detailed history of the simple receipt,

wherein the user terminal generates the next installation number of a finally granted installation number when the electronic receipt application is deleted and re-installed and re-transfers the next installation number and a serial number to database of the electronic receipt server, and the database of the electronic receipt server re-stores the re-transferred installation number and serial number,

wherein when one user possesses a plurality of user terminals, serial numbers of the user terminals are all different from each other while the user terminals include the same payment information and installation numbers are granted in the order of installing an electronic receipt application on the user terminals, and

wherein the electronic receipt application is executed to display the simple receipt, requests a complete receipt corresponding to a simple receipt to the electronic receipt server when a user selects one of the items of the simple receipt, receives and stores the requested complete receipt, and displays a complete receipt corresponding to a simple receipt selected among stored complete receipts.

2. The system as set forth in claim 1, wherein a push alarm is executed to the electronic receipt application when the user terminal receives a push signal from the push server.

3. The system as set forth in claim 1, wherein the user terminal further comprises:

a communication unit requesting an electronic receipt to the electronic receipt server when the push alarm is confirmed and receiving an electronic receipt transferred from the electronic receipt server according to the request in the manner of wireless internet.

4. A method for electronic receipt management using a user terminal, comprising:

(a) contacting a user terminal with a dongle within a certain distance;

(b) relaying a payment request wherein the dongle relays an installation number, payment information, and the amount of requested payment from the user terminal to a payment server;

(c) making a payment using the payment information and the amount of requested payment received from the dongle;

(d) issuing an electronic receipt after making a payment;

(e) transfering the issued electronic receipt and the installation number received from the dongle to an electronic receipt server;

(f) storing the electronic receipt received from the payment server;

(g) searching a serial number of a user terminal where the installation number received from a payment server matches an installation number pre-stored in a database;

(h) transferring the searched serial number of the user terminal to a push server; and

(i) receiving the serial number of the user terminal from the electronic receipt server, and transmitting a push signal to execute a push alarm notifying an electric receipt application of a user terminal corresponding to the received serial number of the user terminal that an electronic receipt is issued,

wherein the electronic receipt includes a simple receipt and a complete receipt containing detail information of the simple receipt,

wherein, in the storing step, the payment server issues the simple receipt and the complete receipt and transfers the simple receipt and the complete receipt to the electronic receipt server,

wherein the simple receipt contains payment date, payment items, and the amount of requested payment,

wherein the complete receipt contains the content and detailed history of the simple receipt,

wherein, prior to the contacting step, the method further comprises;

installing an electronic receipt application by a user, transferring an installation number and a serial number to a database of the electronic receipt server and storing the transferred installation number and serial number,

wherein the user terminal generates a next installation number of a finally granted installation number when the electronic receipt application is deleted and re-installed and re-transfers the next installation number and a serial number to the database of the electronic receipt server, and the database of the electronic receipt server re-stores the re-transferred installation number and serial number,

wherein when one user possesses a plurality of user terminals, serial numbers of the user terminals are all different from each other while the user terminals include the same payment information and installation numbers are granted in the order of installing an electronic receipt application on the user terminals, and

wherein the electronic receipt application is executed to display the simple receipt, requests a complete receipt corresponding to a simple receipt to the electronic receipt server when a user selects one of the items of the simple receipt, receives and stores the requested complete receipt, and displays a complete receipt corresponding to a simple receipt selected among stored complete receipts.

5. The method as set forth in claim 4, further comprising:

formulating a push alarm executed to the electronic receipt application when a push signal is received from the push server.

6. The method as set forth in claim 5, further comprising:

requesting an electronic receipt to the electronic receipt server when the push alarm is confirmed; and

receiving an electronic receipt transferred from the electronic receipt server according to the request via wireless internet.
